Dining delay

When one makes a restaurant reservation, one expects to be seated at or around the time of said reservation, right? After all, isn't that what a reservation is for?

Well, last night Puppy and I had dinner plans with two of his friends, Fakey Saccharine and So So Deaf at 8:30. Apparently, the people at our table were taking their leisurely time finishing up their meal, so we ended up waiting for an hour before getting seated. By that time, I was quite ornery.

Dinner ended up being a tasty affair and Fakey Saccharine and So So Deaf weren't nearly as irritating as I expected, but the ridiculous wait put me in a sour mood and by the time we finished, it was beyond past my bedtime. I am an old panda.
